Question Help with grinding/unsmooth movement from front of car

Hey everyone i am noticing that my car isnt moving as smooth and appears to be a slight grinding feeling during movement, mostly when i slow down or turn at low speeds. Was wondering if anyone had any ideas? I have suspicions that its either the tire going bad, the rotor, or wheel bearings. All i know is that it does not feel as smooth as its supposed too...Can low tire pressure do that??? My car only has 40k on it..Thanks everyone!

Can you be a little more clear to the problem? Do you feel it, hear it? what speeds does it go away or start? does it only do it while braking? accelerating? cruising?

Can be a number things. Are you lowered? Could be the tires rubbing the fenders. Could be low tire pressure in the tires. Could be a bearing gone bad. Mayve a stuck caliper (piston). You need to be more specific and maye some of us can assist.
